Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a smart in-vehicle device. As shown in FIG. 1, the smart in-vehicle device may comprise a processor 101, a memory 102, a display screen 103, an audio device 104, and a camera, wherein the processor 101 is connected to the memory 102, the display screen 103, the audio device 104, and the camera via a bus.

The present application provides a method for simultaneously translating the language of a smart in-vehicle system. The method is implemented using the smart in-vehicle device as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the method comprises the following steps:

At Step S201, the smart in-vehicle device receives the first language to be played.

At Step S202, the smart in-vehicle device acquires a first voice of a navigation software, wherein the first voice is a second language, and constructs the input data X_(t) at the current time t of a cyclic neural network according to the first voice.

At Step S203, the smart in-vehicle device acquires an output result S_(t−1) at the previous time of the hidden layer of the cyclic neural network and a weight W; the smart in-vehicle device allocates m threads, and divides the weight W into m weight blocks, and allocates the m weight blocks to m threads in one-to-one correspondence; divides the output result S_(t−1) into m output blocks, and divides the input data X_(t) into m input blocks; wherein each of the first m−1 weight blocks contains 4 columns of weight W element values, the last weight block contains r columns of weight W element values; each of the first m−1 input blocks contains 4 rows of input data X_(t) element values, the last weight block contains r rows of weight X_(t) element values, each of the first m−1 output blocks contains 4 rows of S_(t−1) element values, and the last weight block contains r rows of S_(t−1) element values.

At Step S204, each of the threads calls m input blocks, respectively, to perform an inner product operation with the element value of the weight block corresponding to each of the threads to obtain a first result, the first results of all threads are arranged to obtain a first calculation result, each of the threads calls m output blocks, respectively, to perform an inner product operation with the element value of the weight block corresponding to each of the threads to obtain a second result, the second results of all threads are arranged to obtain a second calculation result, the sum of the first calculation result and the second calculation result is calculated to obtain the output result S_(t) of the hidden layer at the time t, an activation operation is performed on S_(t) to obtain the output result O_(t) at the time t, the second voice corresponding to the first language is obtained according to the output result O_(t), and the second voice is played.

Obtaining a second voice corresponding to the first language according to the output result O_(t) may adopt the method of obtaining the existing cyclic neural network model, such as the Google cyclic neural network model, and the Baidu neural network model. The cyclic neural network can also refer to the paper about the cyclic neural network.

The technical solution provided by the present application allocates parallel operations of multiple threads to the cyclic neural network when the voice of the navigation is determined to be inconsistent with the voice requested by the user, and performs data splitting, thereby improving the calculation speed and improving the user experience.

The cyclic neural network is a neural network model commonly used for voice translation. The cyclic neural network has a structure as shown in FIG. 3, comprising an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The output structure of the hidden layer is used as an input data of the hidden layer of the next time.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the output result of the hidden layer at the time t is the output of the hidden layer at the next time t+1.

As shown in FIG. 3, W denotes a weight, X_(t−1) denotes the input data of the input layer at the time t−1, X_(t) denotes the input data of the input layer at the time t, S_(t−1) denotes the output result of the hidden layer at the time t−1, and O_(t−1) denotes the output result of the output layer at the time t−1;

Take time t as an example:

S _(t) =w×X _(t) +w×S _(t−1)

I _(t) =f(S _(t))

Where f denotes an activation function, including, but not limited to, a sigmoid function, a tanh function, etc.

${{sigmoid}\mspace{11mu} (x)} = {{\frac{1}{1 - e^{x}}\mspace{20mu} \tan \; {h(x)}} = \frac{e^{x} - e^{- x}}{e^{x} + e^{- x}}}$

Of course, in the actual application, other activation functions can also be used.

The r is a remainder of M/4, and the M is a column value of the weight.

m=[M/4]+1.

Each of the threads calls m input blocks, respectively, to perform an inner product operation with the element value of the weight block corresponding to each of the threads to obtain a first result, which may specifically comprise:

each of the threads calling m−1 input blocks, respectively, to perform an inner product operation with the element value of the weight block corresponding to each of the threads to obtain (m−1)*4*4 inner product results, each of the threads calling the last input block to perform an inner product operation with the first weight block to obtain r*4*4 inner product results, and combining (m−1)*4*4 inner product results with r*4*4 inner product results to obtain the first result of the first thread. That is, the first result comprises (m−1+r)*4*4 inner product results, each of the inner product results is an element value of the first calculation result, and the position of the first calculation result of the inner product result can be determined based on the calculation rule of multiplying a matrix by another matrix. Similarly, for the output block, the above calculation can also be used to obtain the second result.

The position of the first calculation result of the inner product result can be determined based on the calculation rule of multiplying a matrix by another matrix, which may specifically be as follows:

-   -   if the inner product result is obtained by performing an inner         product operation on the first row of elements of the input data         and the first column of elements of the weight, the position of         the first calculation result of the inner product result is the         column value 1 and the row value 1, and if the inner product         result is obtained by performing an inner product operation on         the first row of elements of the input data and the second         column of elements of the weight, the position of the first         calculation result of the inner product result is the column         value 2 and the row value 1. Similarly, the positions of all the         inner product results can be determined.

-   -   an acquiring unit configured to acquire a first language to be         played; and acquire a first voice of a navigation software;     -   a processing unit configured to: construct the input data X_(t)         at the current time t of a cyclic neural network according to         the first voice, wherein the first voice is a second language;         acquire an output result S_(t−1) at the previous time of the         hidden layer of the cyclic neural network and a weight W,         wherein the smart in-vehicle device allocates m threads, divides         the weight W into m weight blocks, and allocates the m weight         blocks to m threads in one-to-one correspondence; divide the         output result S_(t−1) into m output blocks, and divide the input         data X_(t) into m input blocks; wherein each of the first m−1         weight blocks contains 4 columns of weight W element values, the         last weight block contains r columns of weight W element values;         each of the first m−1 input blocks contains 4 rows of input data         X_(t) element values, the last weight block contains r rows of         weight X_(t) element values, each of the first m−1 output blocks         contains 4 rows of S_(t−1) element values, and the last weight         block contains r rows of S_(t−1) element values; wherein each of         the threads calls m input blocks, respectively, to perform an         inner product operation with the element value of the weight         block corresponding to each of the threads to obtain a first         result, the first results of all threads are arranged to obtain         a first calculation result, each of the threads calls m output         blocks, respectively, to perform an inner product operation with         the element value of the weight block corresponding to each of         the threads to obtain a second result, the second results of all         threads are arranged to obtain a second calculation result, the         sum of the first calculation result and the second calculation         result is calculated to obtain the output result S_(t) of the         hidden layer at the time t, an activation operation is performed         on S_(t) to obtain the output result O_(t) at the time t, the         second voice corresponding to the first language is obtained         according to the output result O_(t), and the second voice is         played;
